I bought these in June, and they were the best set of headphones I'd ever had. They had excellent sound quality and bass, and had virtually no sound leakage, so I didn't have to worry about disturbing others. However, after about five months, one of the arm things that connected the can to the headband snapped. I tried to fix it with some glue,thinking it would hold until I could do something better, but the next day, the other side broke as well!
